Verdict

There could be more to come from BOLDMERE, who landed a couple of handicap chases in good style last season and would've added a Wetherby Grade 2 to his CV in February but for falling at the final fence. With Richard Johnson in the hot-seat, the 7-y-o earns the vote ahead of Secret Investor and Potterman. Last year's winner Ballyoptic and Seddon are others with claims in a competitive contest.
